30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 172

Estrella glanced at her hand, trying to slide off the ring, but it was too tight, impossible to

remove.

Jason, witnessing her struggle and recalling her words, called out, “Estrella.”

She ignored him, didn’t even look up, and instead wrenched at the ring with all her might, managing to budge it slightly. In the next second, blood started to ooze around the ring.

A sharp pain shot through Estrella’s heart, but without a hint of mercy, she yanked the ring off her finger. Blood dripped down her finger, the ring still ensnared a piece of her skin.

The irony of the situation struck Estrella. The skin hanging from the ring was like the layers she had shed in this marriage. She always appeared carefree and jovial, but how could she truly be indifferent? More often than not, it was just a facade.

Estrella had always had a low tolerance for pain. As Jason saw her forcibly removing the ring right in front of him, his own heart twisted in agony, his chest tightened with anxiety.

Placing the bloodied ring on the desk, Estrella calmly said, “Jason, had I known it would come to this, I would never have agreed to this marriage. We’ve known each other for years, let’s at least part with some dignity.”

With that, she brushed past him and left the room. The door closed with a soft click, and by the time Jason turned around, Estrella had disappeared.

His gaze fell upon the ring, now surrounded by specks of blood on the floor. The jeweler had claimed the ring was irremovable, but Estrella had torn it off, flesh and all.

Gripping the steering wheel with both hands, blood from her left ring finger dripped continuously onto her pants and shoes.

In that moment, Estrella felt numb with pain, her body trembling, her grip on the whee
